A non-returnable deposit of 50% is payable to confirm your booking if the booking is made more than six weeks before the start of the rental. The balance is payable six weeks before the commencement of the rental. Non-payment of the balance of the rent on or before the due date shall be construed as a cancellation of the contract by the client.

For booking’s made less than six weeks before the start of the rental the total fee is payable at confirmation of booking.

Payment can be made by bank transfer, cheque or credit card over the phone.

CANCELLATION

Once a booking has been confirmed in writing or email and the deposit paid, the client is liable for the whole amount of the rent for the period booked. If written notice of cancellation is received every effort will be made to re-let the cottage for the period booked, and if a new let is arranged then only the deposit will be forfeited. If the cottage cannot be re-let then both the deposit and the balance payable will be forfeited.
